The previous week it was very busy in the workplace of our company LEFEVRE INTERIORS. Our employees were finishing projects before holidays.
One of the projects that has to be finished before next Thursday (holidays start) is a made to measure study room.
Floor plan of the study room and views of the four walls.
The room with its beamed ceiling and slanted walls, where the cabinets has to be installed.
Technical plan at our workplace.
Our employees finishing the study room.
The cabinets and doors are made of French oak.

At the very last moment our client decided to choose for a door with an oval window instead of the glazed paneled door.

On both sides of the glazed door open shelving cabinets.

Adjustable profiled shelving.
View D
Radiator cover with its woven wood paneling.
As you can see,the study room is not finished yet. Cornices, skirting, profiles and hardware have to be applied.
And the oak cabinets and doors have to be stained which will give the room his final look!

Our client has chosen for the grayed stained oak finish (sample n°2).
Because our clients wish to use this study room even as a kind of family gathering room, I am preparing the presentation of the furniture that has to be brought in.
I would love to see a large family table as these made at the Belgian company of my friend Veronique MALVINI FURNITURE FACTORY and author of the blog Malvini . All the Malvini furniture is handmade and homemade and is produced by Veronique’s husband Geert. As these gorgeous tables which are manufactured from massive wood, according to the classical method of furniture making.

At either end of the table I would love to place a comfortable linen slipcovered bergère.
As this one…
… or this one.
And along the sides of the table I would love to see a combination of different chairs.
I just love the way Sabine of HOME-WORLD OF INTERIORS has placed the chairs around the table in her showroom.

And what do you think about placing a bench as this one that Brooke and Steve have discovered at the Kanaal of Axel Vervoordt ?

And of course I wish all of you wonderful Summer Holidays!

Greet…Thank you so much for taking us through each elevation and its corresponding wall of (almost) finished cabnetry! What a phenominal study room this will be!!! The stain the homeowners have chosen is perfect, as are the table & chair choices you've selected to present to them. I hope you'll share photos of the room once everything is installed!
Victoria
It’s always such a pleasure to see Lefevre interior rooms and this one is fabulous. Those thick wood beams are amazing and I love seeing the elevation drawings as well. I can’t wait to see everything installed and finished. Enjoy your holiday!
Ohh gorgeous rustic tables and paired with those slipcovered chairs they are a dream. I love the grey tone your client chose, I would have chosen the same one. A lovely, interesting post, Greet.
Hope you and your family have a great holiday, too!
I'm sure that you are looking foward to a quiet restful holiday with your family. The days leading up to them can be so very hectic!
Beautfully balanced elevations, such a restful stain choice. It brings out the character of the oak so well! I am most curious to see what the floor material is and what the lighting will be. It is going to be a very relaxing family gathering room!
Greet, I love posts that feature your work. You are so talented and the work that comes out of your shop is exquisite. I know you've all earned a nice vacation. I'm hoping yours is wonderful in every way. Mona
The study is going to be wonderful! Such craftsmanship is a work of art. We love the Malvini tables paired with the chairs you chose. Wishing you and your staff a wonderful holiday! Angela and Renee

Really amazing, Greet. Beautiful finishes and craftsmanship. I do not see how all this can be done by Thursday. But, neverless, have a splendid holiday time, my friend. Take lots of photos for us. xx's
This was an educational post, now inspirations are spinning in my head. Ah! the European tradition of everyone taking a holiday in August…not so here in North America, where holidays are spread during the year. Unfortunately I will not have time to go to the beach like I used to do while in Italy! Enjoy your well deserved holidays.
Greet !
Voilà encore un superbe travail !
Bonnes vacances à tous !
Céline.
What a glorious study that will be for your client, Greet. The craftmanship is incredible. Enjoy your holiday!

Greet this is wonderful! Such a fascinating post, I have to say my Husband very rarely reads blogs but this post he most certainly did! We were both glued (metaphorically speaking!) to every plan and every detail. Such craftsmanship and care, we both loved the finish chosen for the wood and oh those tables! What a fabulous, useable space your amazing Lefevre team will have created. Please can we see more of your fabulous projects as well as the finished rooms! Warmest hugs – Glenda xxx
